The University of Wollongong’s Faculty of Education Dean Professor Paul Chandler has been honoured as one of 10 prominent Australian researchers at an event to be held at the National Press Club in Canberra today (2 April).
The Thomson Scientific Australian Research Day identified 10 Australian researchers through a special multidisciplinary citation database, known as the Web of Science. The researchers come from fields ranging across the sciences to the social sciences and humanities.
Professor Chandler was recognised for the huge impact of his research in education, and the large number of people who have cited his work across many disciplines.
Thomson Scientific presented commemorative certificates to each researcher at the National Press Club function. Australian Research Council CEO Professor Margaret Sheil gave the opening address, and it concluded with an address by Professor Alan Robson, Chair of The Group of Eight and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Western Australia.
Thomson Scientific said the event was an opportunity for the major research and policy groups to come together to celebrate the success of Australia's researchers. Senior representatives from all these groups were invited.
